THE PEERS AND THE LAND BILL.


THE MEASURE DISCUSSED IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS
SALISBURY ANSWERS THE DUKE or ARGYLE
LONDON Aug 1l.-ln the House OF Lords TINS
evening, on motion to consider the HOUSE VI C"h
mons amendments to the Land Dill, the DUKE Oh
Argyll warned the House that the bill IN It's preseut
term was an immense development OF the Gladstone
Land Act of 1881 and one that III the future would
lead to the development of some detection :lhe
BILL he declared, would foster among The irish hoe
industry but laziness, making tenants more uh
thrifty II would give tenants tho privilege OF rcsu
latny rents to such extent as to enable then, now
ever law or ignorant to remain their holdings
The bill was a violation OF recognized truths IL Po
tral reasons forced the House TO accept some 0, ne
amendments he hoped that the members wouiu nav
the courage to ject others whicn Simply PioP

FarI Granville admitted tt at the bill was imperfect
but 1t was d compromise measure shd 'ho pee'
obtainable under the circumstances, and IL was 'here
fore advisable that the House approve IL. Notu'hs
could be gained by discussing the Dill Oh "oS'i"0'
economic principles
Lord Salisbury said he felt the justice OF the Duke
of Argylrs criticism. The bill was undoubtedly
consequence of the Liberal Governments land leSisa
ton. in which departure was made IRON the p'inc
pie of freedom OF contract. But 1t was only tenn
porsry measure preceding larger proposals by
means of which the Government would try To mitigate
the evils of previous legislation. The Government
had not accepted the amendments without anxious
consideration as to what the result OF their rejection
would be- The abandonment OF he bill was aterna-
tive, and tho Government could not accept thae
responsibility. Therefore he urged the House 10
recognize the dcutes of the position aud accede 10
the amendments.
Lord Selborne (Liberal said he Thought the COY
ern nent would have been unwise 10 throw up the DILL
lie would rather have cut oil his right hand than have
been party to the passing of the act OF 1901 II ne

A Famous Detective.

James Jackson, the famous State detec- tive, resides in Sing Sing, and is generally in attendance at the prison. His duties are to examine carefully the face of every convict as he enters, and to scrutinize every visitor in order to prevent any dis charged convict from seeing his pals. Occasionally he has to make long jour neys in pursuit of runaway prisoners or to identify criminals convicted in other States. He never makes a mistake; if once he looks a man in the eye he will know him under any disguise, as he tells his man by the look of his eyes. Once an escaped convict had his nose pared down one-third, but Jackson detected him at once, notwithstanding this remark able change of feature. MT. Jackson is about feet inches in height, about 30 years old, of light and sinewy build, with black hair and piercing black eyes, and is altogether remarkably handsome. He knows about 10, 900 criminals, and it is simply wonderful that he can distin- guish the features of every one On his long journeys he eats very moderately and always takes one Brandreth pill at night. When much fatigued by the jolt ing of the cars on his tiresome trips he uses two Allcock's Porous Plasters on the small of the back, which give him renewed vigor and quickly relieve him of all weariness. These are the only two remedies he uses, and he attributes his vigor and remarkable health to Allcock's Porous Plasters and Brandreth's Pills.- Sing Sing, ~. Y., Duly Register.

Test of the 11O-TOn Gun.

The final proof experiment with the first of the great guns for Her Majesty's s ship Benbow took place at the Woolwich Arsenal butts recently. The loading of the gun, which will be performed on board ship by hydraulics, had to be car ried out by hand, and was difficult and tedious process, but at length the proof shot, weighing 1,8OO pounds, was driven forward of the powder chamber, and eight octagonal cartridges were packed in behind it, each weighing 125 pounds, or an aggregate of exactly 1,000pounds. The powder was of slow burning de- scription, technically known as IS. B. L."- Most of the preceding rounds have been fired with Westphalian brown powder, and the velocities have varied with the weight of charge from 1899 feet per second, with pressure 9.65 tons, to 2,O78 feet with 1877 tons pres sure. On the gun being fired it was found that the shot had achieved an ini- tial velocity of 2,12S feet per second, with the remarkably low pressure of 16.1 tons. This velocity is equal to rate of over 24 miles per minute, or over l,4OO miles per hour. A second round was fired with precisely similar results.

GOTHAM'S FIREMEN BEAT.
\ LIVELY FIGHT TO SAVE
 GOODS WORTH $35O,OOO.
Six Stories of Shavings, Furniture
 and Cloth Go up Together.

Another scorcher in the furniture district gave the firemen desperate fight. It ended ill their defeat and the loss of the building, but it added to their credit fire fighters.
 The fire began in the basement of six story brick building at the corner of two streets and was burning fercely when the tiremen ar rived. It was fed by bales of excelsior and other upholsterers' goods, and threw off great volumes of thick white smoke, that prevented any effort to get into the basement with the lines of hose.
 building and hoistway alongside of the stairs on one street. This and the fact that the whole six stories and basement were full of good fuel, making seven floors 10Ox5O feet waiting to go like a flash at the touch of f1ane, shows what job the firemen had.
 To stand and see it burn and save the sur rounding property, would have been, as it proved, the quickest way of getting out of it. Bu. that isn't the way the boys work.
 Lines were put at the stairways and hoist way. The flames were fought away from these dangerous points, while other lines were brought to the attack along the street fronts of the basement The stitliug smoke prevented any entrance for long time, and even then the seat of the flames could not be determined. But after while, though yet it seemed inn possible to live step beyond the foot of the ladders running down from the broken side walk lights, the lines were carried ill.
 The men were driven out time after time and had to be relieved every few minutes Yet the thick white smoke still rolled out in heavy clouds. Several times flames showed red and glowing through the smoke on one side, and once they showed brightly on the second floor, only to Do followed by the streams of water and beaten back and dark ened. ..-
 Even after glare had momentarily lighted up two of the third-story windows the fighters still had hopes of success, as this, too, was reached and darkened. In the meantime two more engines and the second water tower had been called, and the building was surrounded. Engines were laundering on every hand, and the tall pipe of water tower was in position to command each streets front The smoke seemed a little less thick in the basement and hopes were high that the firemen had won.
 But the Hull was delusive. The flames had eaten their way up through the floor, away back out of reach, and the vent thus made had | ssened the volume of smoke in the basement. But it had also allowed the spread of the flames and the four upper floors were almost instant 1y four distinct masses of fire. In another moment they were one sea of flames, that rolled out of every window in surges and bill lows, and climbed high above the roof until it seemed to be turned back by the low hanging clouds. The falling rain and the puddles in and all the lower part of the city was illumin- ated.
 There was nothing for the firemen to do but wait for the fuel to burn up and keep the bricks cool.
